1960 Map of Chalk Bluff

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Nueces River carves a winding path through this corner of Uvalde County, where the topography shifts from the river bottom to the high ground of Chalk Bluff. In the early 1960s, this landscape was defined by its cattle ranching heritage, with large landholdings such as Bird Springs Ranch, Haby Ranch, and Bankier Ranch occupying the draws and creeks that feed the main river. The confluence of the West Nueces River and its primary branch occurs just south of Camp Chalk Bluff, creating a network of riparian zones vital for local agriculture. Transportation in the area relies on established landmarks like Haby Crossing, while the tracks of the T & N O RR cut across the southern edge of the survey, providing a heavy rail link for the rural community. Numerous intermittent drainages, including Elm Slough and Indian Creek, further illustrate the complex hydrology of the Edwards Plateau's edge.
